Anti-Racism Project
The Project gives participants opportunities-eight-week courses, mini-workshops, and professional development classes-to engage in interactive experiences to examine the realities of institutionalized racism, internalized racism, white privilege, and the myths of immigration in order to understand how they feed ongoing racial injustice.
